Plan B – Wyzwolenia 18

Warsaw’s citizens are wont to say that it was here that the most creative plans in their city were born. This place, located near the Square of the Liberator, is also where all the parties in the city end. Definitely a must see and maybe even a place to dance as the sun starts to rise.

“Stairs by the Vistula”

Whether you want to be by the river alone, with a group or you want to meet someone new, just take a walk along the Vistula and opportunities will present themselves. It’s probably clear to everyone that the best parties take place by the water. The Vistula River is no exception. Since the city managed to restore the promenade, the Vistula has really come to life. In addition to the wild beaches further from the center, there are several boats in the heart of the town where you can have a beer or a drink, dance to the music or simply enjoy the magnificent view of the river and its bridges. If you head to the other side, to the east of Warsaw, you will have a breathtaking view of the cityscape full of illuminated skyscrapers, especially at night.
